"Cough... Kurt, I’ve told you many tis, when there are no outsiders, don’t call by my codena..."
Dane awkwardly touched his nose. This Star Network codena with its overwhelming sense of teenage angst always made him feel inexplicably ashad when others called it out.
God knows why, back when he was coming up with a codena, his mind slipped and he chose "Michael."
Compared to the predominant Classic of Mountains and Seas-style titles within the organization, codenas purely nad after angels were quite rare.
It wasn’t until after picking it that Dane realized he and his brother Sam were the only ones in the entire organization using such a codena.
This was like a Huaxia person giving themselves a codena like "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King."
Perhaps it wouldn’t be a problem for foreigners, but for fellow Huaxia people, it definitely seed a bit too much like teenage angst.
Remy also scratched his head embarrassedly after being reminded by him.
"Alright, the intelligence you’ve summarized is basically correct. Let’s check our equipnt again to ensure there’s nothing missing."
With that, the two imdiately began checking their items, including Extraordinary Items and Dark Energy, a requisite routine before every mission.
"Dark Spirit Crystal, Four-leaf Flower, Spirit Binding Scroll, Communication Butterfly, Vermilion Fruit... Check complete, all materials are ready, we can depart at any ti."
Remy reported.
"Hmm, we know very little about the target in this mission, so we must be cautious and not careless."
As he spoke, Dane suddenly seed to think of sothing and hurriedly summoned the Star Network Terminal, opening the exchange shop, and his gaze fell on his remaining Contribution Value.
"The announcent just said they have opened the long-distance delivery module, which ans we can now exchange items anyti, anywhere...?"
The remaining Contribution Value displayed was 216.
According to Dane’s plan, he originally intended to save up this Contribution Value to purchase a set of Mountain and River Sword.
But seeing the newly appeared Eye of Calamity, he hesitated, unsure if he should buy this new piece of equipnt.
After all, the Mountain and River Sword was good, but it consud too much Contribution for him, needing 300 points at once, and after purchasing, he’d be broke again.
Besides, he couldn’t utilize all nine Mountain and River Swords.
According to his combat habits, he could at most use two simultaneously, and buying more would be a waste.
So, after much deliberation, Dane finally made up his mind to abandon the original plan of purchasing the Mountain and River Sword and instead decided to buy this new Eye of Calamity.
This way, he could still save 100 points of Contribution Value, which he could use to buy other items to enhance his own strength.
Worst-case scenario, with the long-distance delivery functionality now available, he could summon items using these Contribution Values when encountering danger.
Thus, it’s foreseeable that the Awakener from Star Alliance, when going out on missions, might need to reserve so Contribution Value for flexible exchanges.
Seeing Dane’s actions, Remy couldn’t help but beco excited too.
He was naturally curious about this newly appeared Eye of Calamity equipnt.
However, due to not participating in any missions, nor having developed a Dark Energy Formula,
his contribution points were still zero, leaving him unable to buy even if he wanted to.
"Only one left?"
When Dane saw the remaining stock in the Contribution Shop, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
He hadn’t expected that this new equipnt, just newly released, would almost be sold out instantly.
Seeing this, he couldn’t afford to hesitate any longer and promptly clicked to purchase.
After a round of identity verification, the holographic projection before him displayed "Currently Delivering."
Closing the Star Network Terminal, Dane gazed expectantly towards the ground in front of him.
Based on experience, the item he just purchased would appear from there.
The delivery thod of the long-distance delivery module was no different from before the Upgrade, still completed in the form of a flower.
Just then, the ground in front of the two began to ripple, and soon, the hard surface broke as a verdant bud erged.
The little flower grew visibly with the naked eye, reaching half a person’s height within a few breaths.
The puffy bud slowly blood under Dane’s expectant gaze.
In the center of the bright red blossom was a thumb-sized black cube, the Eye of Calamity he had just bought.
As Dane took it, the half-human-high flower quickly withered and faded, finally turning to specks of dust drifting away on the wind.
This scene, witnessed by a few fully-ard camouflaged soldiers nearby, caused their advancing steps to pause.
"This is the Eye of Calamity... It’s smaller than I imagined..."
Dane carefully examined the small black cube for a mont, intrigued.
Just now, upon purchasing it, he had read the instructions in the shop about how to use it, so he began guiding his Dark Energy into it.
The next mont, purple patterns on the cube’s surface lit up brilliantly, and under Dane’s ntal control, it swiftly reassembled and enlarged, transforming into a wide-blade sword over a ter long.
Feeling the energy resonance emanating, Dane knew that whenever he wished, he could channel his Dark Energy into it to launch remote energy attacks.
With this in mind, he couldn’t help but mimic Zhang Xiaoman’s earlier action, using his mind to shift the Eye of Calamity into a handgun form.
For a modern person, this form was most familiar for using ranged weapons.
Then, to adapt to this weapon’s transformation capability, Dane switched the Eye of Calamity among various shapes in his hand.
Sword in the Stone, Sea God Trident, Thunder God’s Spear, among others, all legendary mythical weapons.
Watching this, an excited Remy stood by, his azure eyes filled with longing, eager to own such equipnt himself.
The soldiers, witnessing this, were even more rooted to the spot, observing intently for quite so ti before moving again.
"Gentlen, hello! The task assignnts from the command center have been completed. I am Dylan Thomas, the captain for this action, and I will be responsible for leading the two of you to the destination and working with you."
The soldiers arrived at their side, their previously defiant deanor now gone completely.
The leading captain, Dylan, even lowered his stance, proactively offering cooperation.
